ANCC (American Nurses Credentialing Center) Magnet Recognition is a top honor which recognizes a hospital’s nursing excellence. Several of the fourteen “Forces of Magnetism” which characterize a Magnet hospital, are directly influenced by a librarian’s involvement. Forces in which librarians actively participate will be discussed. Librarians provide a key role in these areas by providing instruction, research expertise, and by being collaborators.

Every four years a Magnet institution has to undergo an extensive reevaluation to preserve Magnet status. This poster will show how librarians have assisted in maintaining Magnet status through participation in various evidence-based practice nursing committees. Librarians from other institutions can gain insight on steps to take to begin or maintain Magnet status.

    Thank you for your thank you! I am happy that the poster provided you with some ideas for librarian involvement. If you would like to know more about Magnet at UCLA or Magnet in general, I would be happy to talk with you and send you a list of articles that talk about librarians and magnet involvement as well. Thank you again for your comment!
